Just to be clear, one needs to stop producers and consumers that writing/reading from a topic “test” if they are trying to delete that specific topic “test”. Not all producers and clients.

If this is set true any one who is making TopicMetadataRequest can create a topic . As both producers and consumers can send TopicMetadataRequest which will create a topic if the above config is true. So while doing deletion if there is producer or consumer running it can re-create a topic thats in deletion process. This issue going to be addressed in upcoming versions. Meanwhile if you are not creating topics via producer than turn this config off or stop producer and consumers while you are trying to delete a topic. -- Harsha On March 23, 2015 at 9:57:53 AM, Grant Henke (ghe...@cloudera.com) wrote: What happens when producers or consumers are running while the topic deleting is going on?
